So the post is about an article that says the lady trump is appointing to replace gaetz wants to "deport pro-palestinian protestors", like, where? Seriously no one questions how that's gonna be done, and if there's actually a real chance of that.

So many of these statements by right-wing politicians are only done to appease their base, they're not actually afraid of the protestors enough to risk fallout by deporting american citizens.

One shouldn't expect better from that subreddit though, it's smarmyness embodied

risk fallout by deporting american citizens

I think you overestimate Americans and the Republican base in particular.

yeah. deport american citizens just means "indefinitely detain" or "disappear"

whether they pull it off i dunno

I’m willing to bet there are foreign students participating in these things which is probably a violation of the terms of their visa but only a psycho would actually follow up on it.
